It all started when I was around 9 or 10 years of age during three rainy days at the cabin when my mom gave me a huge box of toothpicks, white glue, and a nail file...

She said, David, you can make anything from these. Maybe some little airplanes?

I sat for hours glueing and sanding toothpicks into small miniature aircraft.

Since then I have always enjoyed creating things from wood with my hands. A couple years ago I created a serving tray for Mother's Day and thought it would look great with a hummingbird image painted on it. 

Something functional but also a decor piece as she sits on her veranda sipping her morning tea watching the baby hummingbirds fight over her homemade syrup in the feeders.

I have since created over 50 various images and sold hundreds of my art pieces in the past year.

The best part is that when I start a new image I feel like I'm a kid again back at the cabin on those rainy days
